The Coalition, SEPP, and the ICU already inhabit power-free space and are positioned to expand away from space currently occupied by other powers in a pinch. The AEDC operates a lot within Mahon space as they're predominantly pledged the Mahon, but it'd fit with their activities and lore to base them in the regions beyond the Alliance towards the edge of inhabited space as they're trying to expand the Alliance in that direction. So for these four contenders, I have no concerns with how they'd fit into PP in terms of territory.

I have no idea what territory GalCop or whichever wildcard ends up being the sixth contender would occupy, so I won't comment on that.

ObsidianAnt brought me here as well. You guys absolutely have my support. Elite 100% needs player groups establishing new stations, colonizing and terraforming, pushing into the black. These things need to be carefully balanced of course but not allowing organized groups to leave a lasting legacy in the stars is inexcusable. Please let me know if voicing support is more helpful in another channel, FD needs to hear us on this. Right on, CMDRs.

+Rep For the fancy OP.... Only one thing missing... How much are you paying?

You really don't want to know a salary of an average miner in the outer colonies...

We pay in actions, not Credits! Your reward is the exploration of the unknown, it's the colonisation of new worlds and systems, it's the protection of an everyday man's fate. It's the bond of friendship and trust between our members and allies, it's the feeling of accomplishment and victory when we prove that struggle for Power doesn't have to be a struggle at all - it can be prosperous and peaceful coexistence. It's the consciousness that together we're creating something that hasn't been created before. It's the realisation of a vision that will change everything!

I'd say that if you're in it for the money, you should still back the Coalition. It fights for development, the expansion of human space and making a backwater region into a thriving hub of commerce and activity where major faction affiliation is irrelevant. The greatest potential we have is not for organizing pvp, but for making new trade routes, inspiring new CGs and creating larger, more profitable economies in what is now a vast rust belt which traders only visit if they want to play the BGS.

What a glorious speech! Last time I saw something like this on the forums it was followed by the perfect response...

Except I have no baby, screaming would disturb people from their work and if I fainted I doubt anyone would even notice due to them being busy! Instead I will do you a swap... My services for your groups history so that i can add you to my Elite galaxy index. I was going to be asking anyway in a few weeks

It's a good'un, innit?

When you say "your group" do you mean the Coalition or The Winged Hussars? If it's the latter, we're actually in the process of creating a timeline and writing some lore. We were too busy having fun to do that before!
